Rep advises the military

A member of the House of Representatives, Honourable Bamidele Faparusi, has called on the military hierarchy in the country to train its personnel to be civil.

The Honourable who is representing Ekiti South Federal Constituency 2, on the platform of All Progressive Congress (APC) made the call in Lagos during the week.

He expressed disappointment with the treatment meted out to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Aminu Tambuwal, in Kaduna recently by some military personnel.

“It is a rape on democracy and institution of government for the number four citizen of the country to be subjected to such humiliation. It shows that the power that be hates the gut of Mr. Speaker. Unfortunately, a country that hates the truth can never move forward. We, the entire members of the House of Representatives are solidly behind him.

“We condemn in totality the humiliation that he was subjected to on his way to a conference in Kaduna recently. If such deplorable treatment could be meted out to the Honourable Speaker, you can imagine what could done or better still the kind of treatment that the ordinary man on the street has been getting from these people, ” he said.

He called on the military to tender their unreserved apology to the Speaker, saying: “We demand apology from the military hierarchy for the demeaning treatment meted out to the honourable Speaker. It is unfortunate don’t have any regards for the citizens from whose sweat their salaries are paid. It is unthinkable that they always take pleasure in humiliating and unnecessarily harassing innocent citizens with impunity.”
